Created attachment 19500 [details, diff] Fixes the wm-properties sandbox violation This patch creates two new Makefile defines. GNOME_SHAREDIR and GNOME_SHAREDESTDIR. If GNOME_SHAREDIR/wm-properties (/usr/share/gnome/wm-properties) exists, then the desktop file is copied to GNOME_SHAREDESTDIR ($(DESTDIR)/usr/share/gnome/wm-properties). The use of /usr/local/share/gnome/ is still respected if present.
that seems like a rather complicated way to solve the problem, raker can you check the patch previously mentioned and the following one and decide on a course of action ? Thanks.
Created attachment 19541 [details, diff] afterstep-2.0_beta2.ebuild.patch
The ebuild has been added to portage with a patch for the bad makefile and with the dodir for the gnome windowmanager directory in the ebuild. Please test and let me know if you find any further problems. Hopefully there will be a final release of the 2.x series real soon now. Doug's patch looked good to me so i took it as is. It follows the coding style of the upstream authors fairly well and accomplishes what we need for Gentoo users. This may be something we could suggest upstream to fix as this fix will make life easier for packagers for all *nix distributions. It would be nice to include the creation of the directory within the makefile, so i'll modify the patch and send it out.
it works! danke (closing)
